FOOD COMPOUND OR CONDIMENT.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIGMUND L. SIGAL, of Pittsburg, in the county ofAllegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Food Compounds or Condiments, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a new and improved food compound or condiment inthe nature of a sauce or relish for table and culinary use.

The prime object of my invention is, to provide a condiment containing alarge percentage of horse radish in which the character of the horseadish while being main tained to a great extent is so modified that itis rendered more agreeable to the taste than has heretofore been thecase.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a healthful andstable relish.

lVith these ends in view my condiment consists of a mixture of raw horseradish, cooked beets, white wine vinegar, granulatcd sugar, and tablesalt.

In carrying out my invention I first cook a sufficient quantity ofbeets, then allow the beets to cool and after they are cold grind orgrate the beets. The beets thus prepared are mixed wit-h ground orgrated raw horse radish. IVhen the finely ground beets and horse radishare mixed, vinegar, sugar and salt are added and the ingredients stirredto effect a thorough mixture of the same.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 23, 1908.

Patented Sept. 21, 1909. Serial No. 468,902.

The proportions which I prefer to employ in the preparation of my foodcompound or condnnent are as follows:

Raw horse radish 38 parts by measure I am aware that condiments of theclass to which my invention relates should not be composed ofingredients of such a nature that the compound will soon spoil byexposure to the air and that the condiment should have a considerabledegree of stability. After numerous experiments I succeeded inaccomplishing the above mentioned objects without the employment ofdeleterious preservatives.

That I claim is:

A condiment composed of grated horse radish, grated cooked beets,vinegar, sugar, and salt, in the proportions substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
